Danny Fullbrook was the Daily Star's chief football writer before his death from cancer in 2012, and the 'Fearless' charity was set up in his honour.

The new Signed4life charity initiative was launched at England's St George's Park, with Jack Wilshere, Phil Jones and Leighton Baines joining Gerrard at the announcement.

The England skipper said: "We are very excited to be involved in the Signed4Life launch and look forward to raising substantial funds for the England Footballer's Foundation charities through the Signed4Life platform.

"It's a simple idea to harness the power of an autograph. Hopefully we can raise money which will help improve the lives of others."

Signed4life co-Founder Ian Mcgarry said: "We are honoured to be launching with EFF and look forward to working with them.

"Signed 4 Life’s motto is simple: ‘Sign your name and save a life’. It is a unique project which has the capacity to bring people together to raise large sums of money for good causes and make a difference in the lives of many people.”
